esssy ''Plain living, an aid to high
Thinking" by Miss Emma r. Morris
of Phenixville, Pa, was announc. d.
She said the great Greek thinkers
must be recognized as fine models for
US. And she then compared the great
men of to-day with them. The Greek
thinks where Athletic admires, and
the grand thinkers of to day are un-
able to back up their brains with a
strong constitution.
Isaac Hankins' subject for his ora
ton, master and Servant Mr.. Han
kins handled his subject in good
manner, and his delivery was that Of
an orator. His production dwelt par
ticularly upon the great question of
capital and labor, commencing with
the condition of the world away back
in King Edward, the VI reign, and
by bringing it to the present time.
Monopoly has control of States and
countries. 1t dictates laws and inl-
pedes justice. Every laborer in the
country should boycott the saloon and
patronize the Savings Bank, the strife
would only end when master and ser
want should meet together in the inter
est of employer and employed.
The essay "Our Public School Sys-
tenn" by Miss Mary G. Williams, fol-
lowed waltz from Strous by the or
chestra, and the production did the
young lady credit. In it she said, the
public school system was public
benefit, and she wanted to point out
few of its defects. The school system
needed a usual system to learn young
men to work and not to be clerks,
abor. We are fast becoming aristo-
Gratis through the love of money.
There is better time coming, re-
form is cried for and an effort is made
to train the hand as we'll as the head,
and the only trouble is that too much
is required of the student.

Henry G. McLane, was the next ora
ton announced. He went on to tell
how intelligence had helped many
man to love God, and proved bless
ing to the world generally.
Parting Song" was a cornet solo
finely accompanied by the orchestra,
following which came the essay
knowledge is Power" by Miss Lillian
E. Nauddin. The style in which it
was prepared and delivered was bril-
liant, and the applause which followed
showed how we'll her effort pleased
the audience
Mr.. Thomas P. Holloway followed
the brilliant effort of Miss Naudain,
with an grafton "Utilitarinism." The
subject was deep, but the manner in
which the young man handled it made
it plainly apparent that he had studied
his subject WELL His remarks made
an impression upon the audience.
Utilitarinism he said was supreme
selfshness garbed in philosophy, and
under which the acts of anarchists
came, and God has taught that there
is higher aim than that.
Weingdrten's sparkling Tempo de
Polka "Cheerful'' was next rendered
by the orchestra, and then Charles X.
Newell commenced his oration THE
Turning Point of the Ages He de-
livered his Grafton in the same brilliant
style which has been characteristic of
all smaller efforts which he has pre-
viously made. He told of the dawn of
a new era when Christianity was
taught. Old things had passed away,
and new ones were shown. Chris
tianity was not for individuals alone,
but for the whole world. With the
spread of the Gospel comes the exalta-
ton of the people.
Miss Emma M. Westcott, followed
with her essay, THE real and the
Ideal" This excellent production of
the young lady was very pleasing to
the audience. We have all had our
ideal and often felt it to have been more
and better than we are. Her manner
of delivery was pleasing and the
audience showered upon her.much ap-
plause
Following the orchestra's beautiful
rendition of the bright ''Formosa, :"
Professor Trask arose and faced the
now standing graduating class, and
rendered them words of advice which
must have sunk deep in the hearts Of
every member of the class. He re-
minded them that they had much to
be thankful for, and that to God did
they owe many thanks. He urged
them to stand firm and trust in Him
who has so greatly blessed them.

tees of the Institute. With the bene-
